JOHNSON Industrial Recovery General Johnson's job is to guide industry back to full-time ‘work and longer pay-rolls. He started out an army man, but he spent his time at books until it be- came a question whether he was an expert in law, finance or agricul- ture. He was here with Peck in 1922, GEORGE N. PEEK Agricultural Adjustment Peek’'s responsibility is that of putting across the agricultural ad- Jjustment plan which seeks to close the gap between the prices a farme er gets for potatoes, for example, and the prices he pays for tractors and other things. Back in 1922 | | | | Morgenthau, governor of the !»:Irm‘ 3 \ credit administration, made his 1,- |§ 400 acre farm in New York State! pay in 1932. He turned from a family background of law to the uncertain field of farming, getting ! a degree in agriculture from Cor- nell. He has long advocated help for the farmer in the agricultural paper that he publishes at Pough- keepsie, N. Y. B JOSEI"H B. EASTMAN Railroad Ccordination Eastman, who as railroad coor- dinator must play “doctor” to the ailing transportation system, was the, youngest man ever appointed to the Interstate Commerce com- mission. He was first named by President Wilson. A major parf. of his job will be to reduce the duplication of railroad facilities and to. eliminate wasteful competition § among carriers. Briefly, the plan sezks to gain the willing coopera- tion of the railways toward thege | ends. DONALD H., SAWYER Public Works He is directing the initial plans on the public works program seek- ing to put men back to work on a $3,300,000,000 program of construc- tion. Since Sawyer left the Uni- versity of Illinois school of engi- neering. in 1902 he has directed en- gineering - work all over the coun- try. Under his guidance bridges, buildings and roads are scheduled § to spring up over the nation. Con- struction of new battleships is in- cluded and local projects contem- § plated.

Mr. Hurja's statistical ability was: jcalled into use by the Democratic' | National Committee last . summer. After surveys in the various states | he analyzed and predicted the vote. | His forecasts were astonishingly i|close to actual election figures. Despite his limited leisure time! Mr. Hurja continues to write oc- casionally for magazines. | Mrs. Hurja was formerly Miss #|Goodwin Anderson, a Fairbanks | girl. She is now in Washington with her husband. They make| their home at the Mayflower ho-| tel. e It is rumored in Wa.shlng'.on' that Mr. Hurja may havz, if he chooses to accept it, appointment as minister to Finland. ‘ HIGHWAY REPORT PRINTED Tie final report of the American action-of the International High-| way. Commission has been printed and'sent to the State Department. 3|1t will not be distributed until the President has viewed it, which will obably be sometime next week. It has besn learned, however, at the report is entirely favor- le to the International Highway oject. It''is authoritatively stated that/ e report says construction of the highway is feasible and that it n be built for a cost not to °x- the American section. The Commission further recommends |that construction of the Fairbanks ) HOPKING ing a similar pl & and $96,000 for construction and: improvement of air fields. In addition, $21,008 is allotted for reconditioning the Alaska R~il-| Jyoad. It is expected the money will be made available immediately and «.the nature-of the work te be un- dertaken hy the 4. R. C. and by the railroad means that the greater; part of every dollar expended will go to labor. Delegate Dimopnd is highly pleas- ed that Alaska was included in{ the political sub-divisions recelvi_ng initial grants. His efforts to that| end have been unremitting. Nat- urally he would have desired the! { allctment made earlier considering the shortness of the Alaska work-| ~ing season but while the public! works administration set-up was| being perfected it was impossible ( ‘DIMOND FEELS | | commended that Delegate Dimond is very sensi- ble of the fact that all sections of the Territory will not be benefited by allotments, for the A. R. C. and the railroad. His forceful pleas for early mon- ey grants have embraced the en- tire range of public works in Alas- ka and now that funds have start- ed to flow out of the national treasury it is hoped that further allocations will soon bs made. TO EXTEND PARK ROAD Horace M. Albright, retiring di- rector of the National Park Serv- ice, informed the Delegate that there is no doubt but that $250,000 will soon be made available for ex- (tepsion of the Mt. McKinley Park road to Wonder Lake. Further good news came this imorning when Dr. W. Carscn Ryan, director of education for the Of- fice of Indian Affairs, announced that $115000 is included in the puplic works program. 4t this time for construction projects in Alaska. Fifty thousand dollars of that amount will be made immediately available. It is likely that builds ing of the Douglas school will start at a very early date. Other Indian schools are also to be erected. RICHARDSON P. M. On recommendation of Delegate Dimond, the Post Office Depart- ment, has. appointed Guy Turnbow postmaster of the fourth class of- fice at Richardson, in the vicinity jof ‘Birch Lake’on the Richardson Highway. The Delegats also re- X the office be moved for the present to the Fox Farm, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Turnbow, .and, a -few miles north of Richardson.
